86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, token-efficient instruction-only skill: it defines explicit inputs, a closed decision vocabulary, and a concrete checklist of required checks with no padding. Its main gaps are the unspecified output format and the implicit mapping from failed checks to the four decisions.
Suggestions
Specify the structure of the returned review (e.g. which decision was chosen, which checks passed/failed, and evidence for each failure).
Add brief decision criteria mapping check failures to each of the four outcomes so the choice between needs_revision, needs_clarification, and blocked is deterministic.
State the operating sequence explicitly (apply each required check to the packet, then select the single decision) to remove the reliance on section order.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The ~30-line body is lean and efficient: 'Use this skill when a planner artifact needs an independent quality gate before execution or clarification.' plus tightly-scoped Inputs, Output, and Required Checks sections. Every token earns its place with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Concrete, executable guidance for an instruction-only skill: an explicit input list, a closed decision enum ('approve', 'needs_revision', 'needs_clarification', 'blocked'), and six specific check items ('no hidden fallback or degradation is accepted'). It stays below 5 because the output format beyond the decision value and how each check maps to a decision are left implicit. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The flow is coherent and unambiguous for a simple single-task skill — consume the listed inputs, apply the required checks, return exactly one decision — and the checks act as a checklist. It is not 5 because the sequence is implied by section order (Inputs → Output → Checks) rather than stated as an explicit step sequence with decision criteria per check. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is under 50 lines, needs no external references (none exist in the bundle), and is organized into clearly labeled sections (Inputs, Output, Required Checks) — per the simple-skill guidance this matches the top anchor. | 5 / 5 |
